CHICAGO PROFESSOR ATTACKS
FOUNDER OF UNIVERSITY.
AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
John D. Rockefeller and Other Trust
Magnates Are Doing Moro to Cause
the Formation of the Socialist Party
Than Any Other Factor.
Chicago , Aug. 10. John D. Ilockc-
feller , founder nntl supporter of the
University of Chicago , was bitterly at
tacked by Prof. CImrles Zucblln , of the
department of sociology of that Insti
tution.
"Coward , " "enemy of the people , "
"ally of the socialists , " and all-around
ovil-doer , were some of the names
hurled at the head of the Standard
Oil company by the educator.
A similar attack was made by Prof.
Dushnell of Washington , who declared
that the whole world Is turning to so
cialism in an effort to cscapo the bur
dens that have been piled on by the
class to which Rockefeller belongs.
Orthodoxy Assailed.
Not only did Prof. Zueblln express
emphatic opinions about the head of
the oil combine , but ho also criticised
the Standard Oil company Itself. Ho
declared the defense made for the big
corporation In the recent case In which
it was fined $29,240,000 , that It had
only committed an offense that Is com
mon In business , was weak and cow
ardly.
The subject of Prof. Zueblin's lec
ture was "The Constraint of Ortho
doxy. " He assailed orthodoxy , not
only In religion , but In economics , pol
itics and social life , declaring It to bo
the cause of many of the present day
evils. He said in part :
"John D. Rockefeller , J. Plerpont
Morgan , B. H. Harrlman and ttio other
trust magnates are doing more to
make socialism possible thnn are its
most zealous adherents. They are
consolidating the industries and there
by simplifying the process for state
ownership , which constitutes social
ism.
"They defend their actions in a man
ner most cowardly.
"Cowardice is today the most con
spicuous phenomena in the economic
world. There are only a few bold
spirits who are willing to depart from
the standard.
"When upon the Standard Oil com
pany was Imposed an enormous flne ,
euch as had never before been known ,
one of the defenses made was that its
offense was only what everybody else
is guilty of. Whatever the actual mer
it of the case Is , this only complicates
it.
"Take political orthodoxy. The two
political parties In America are as
good representatives of this character
istlc of orthodoxy as are the Metho
dist and Baptist churches.
"There is nothing to enable the or
dinary Individual to distinguish be
tween them. But they must have cer
tain differences to put before the pee
pie , upon which to make a campaign.
Born Into Position.
"Few distinguish between them.
Most native Americans are born Into
their political party , the same as Into
their particular church , and belong to
one party or the other for no other
reason than that their father voted
that way. The orthodoxy of politics
is expressed In party loyalty ; in re
ligion , by devotion ; in economics , by
class consciousness , and in society by
convention.
"The example of orthodoxy most re
pugnant to us Is in the continuance
of the worship of tribal deity , such as
was shown in the worship of an Anglo-
Saxon deity In the Boer war , in the
invocation of the kaiser as his soldiers
were about to embark for China , and I
in the czar's devotion to Russian de
ity. "
HUSBANDS CHAMPIONED.
Judge Says There Are More Husband
Beaters Than Wife-Beaters.
Chicago , Aug. lOf South Chicago
won the palm of chivalry from all
.
Cook county yesterday at the hands of
Acting Chief Justice W. N. Gemmill ,
who told the ways and means commit .
tee of the Chicago Association of
Commerce that In that portion of the
city of Chicago there are more women
who bent their husbands than there
are men who beat their wives.
In the course of an address on "tho
relation of the now municipal courts
to the business Interests of Chicago"
Judge Gemmill also took occasion to
tell of the opportunities for "bargain
counter" justice which the new court
system presents , and to score the court
rooms In the now county building as
"cigar boxes. "
"The greatest problem the judges of
the courts have to solve , " he said , "is
the question of wife and husband beat
ers. Many panaceas have been recom
mended for the wife-beating ill , but
police records will show that in the
outlying districts , South Chicago for
instance , there are more women that
beat their husbands than men who
beat their wives. "
4 FINAL TALK WITH ROOSEVELT ,
Secretary Taft Will Stop at Oyster
Bay Next Week.
Washington , Aug. 10. Secretary of 1
War Tnft will be back In Washington
next week from his vacation. On the
way from his retreat In Canada the
secretary of war will call at Oyster
Hay for a. long and final talk will
President Roosevelt before leaving on
IH ! trip to the Philippines and nroiind
: he world In September. The confer
ence with the president putridly will
ic more significant politically thnn
otherwise.
It IH regarded as probable that If
President Roosevelt bus thought of
my new plan of eliminating himself
'rom consideration In connection with
the noinlnatlon on the national ticket
i year hence , more absolutely than
( trough bin utterance on the night of
'lection In 1001 , ho may lay It before
Secretary Taft when they meet. The
secretary will therefore ho In a posi
tion to go across the continent on his
speech-making tour with definite
knowledge of how the third term talk
Is to bo silenced.
Some facts have leaked out within
i day or two regarding the character
) f the talk which Secretary Taft will
lellvor to the people when ho opens
its campaign In earnest. First and
foremost In many particulars will bo
the address at Columbus. Consider-
iblo data has been supplied relative
o the railroad situation In nil Us
ihases , the deduction therefrom bo
ng that the secretary will declare at
the start a policy In furtherance of
.ho Roosevelt principles , which will
bo prosecuted at his hands If he Is
lomlnnted and elected chief execu
tive to succeed the present Incumbent.
TRADE PROMOTERS ASSOCIATION
Business Men About Ready to Pay
Railroad Fares.
All preliminary details of the plan
to pay railroad fares to out of town
customers are practically finished.
Nearly every retail merchant of Nor
folk Is now a member of the organiza
tion and no merchant interested in out
of town can afford to stay out of the
association.
The fact Is that when the free fare
proposition is in force after Septem
ber 1 , if a non-resident gets into a
store which is not a member of the
association , it is by mistake.
The non-member must then either
lese the trade of the out of town cus
tomer , or pay the railroad fares direct ,
which will cost him four or flvo times
as much as it would by co-operation. . .
The Individual advertising of the
association members will bo greatly
stimulated , and each advertisement
will carry with it the free fare propo
sition and it is a certainty that the
new influx of trade will bo landed by
the association members.
It really does not matter who gets
this money flrst , so far as the city Is
concerned.
Merchants neither eat nor wear
money. They turn it loose in the
channels of trade where everybody has
a chance at it.
Here Is the Plan In a Nutshell.
Free fare to Norfolk , Neb. , and re
turn will be paid on and after Septem
ber 1 , 1907 , and until further notice.
The Norfolk Trade Promoters' as
sociation invites nil persons to come
to the city any time , beginning Sep
tember 1 , 1907 , and if he or she makes
purchases to the aggregate amounts
named below , the round trip fnro of
the visitor will be refunded by the as
sociation.
If you live within fifty miles of Nor
folk purchase must amount to $25.00
or over.
If you live over fifty miles from Nor
folk , and not over 125 miles , purchases
must amount to $40.00 or over.
If you live over 125 miles- from
Norfolk , 125 miles round trip fare will
be paid on a $40.00 purchase , or pur
chases.
All you have to do to get your fare
paid is :
Get a railroad receipt from your
ticket agent before you start , then
when you arrive in Norfolk , make
your purchases from the merchants
advertising as members of the asso
ciation , whose names will be given
later.
Each of those merchants will give
you a. credit slip for each purchase.
When you finish your shopping , call
at the office of the secretary , present
your credit slips showing the amount
of your purchases and the secretary
will refund your fare.
Nearly every human want may be
supplied by the merchants who are
members of the assolcatlon.
Trade Promoters Meeting.
There will be a meeting of the Trade
Promoters association Monday evenIng
Ing at the city hall , at 8 o'clock sharp
It Is very Important that every mem
ber of the association bo present , as
this Is the last meeting before the ad
vertlslng of the proposition.
This will bo the last chance for
merchants to get in the band wagon
for the influx , of new business.

MERCURY DROPS FIFTY DEGREES
IN NORFOLK.
FROM OVEN TO REFRIGERATOR
The Last Three Days of Last Week
Were Almost Insufferable With In.
tense Heat and Extreme Humidity ,
But Air Is Cool Now.
After three days of sizzling in in
sufferable heat , Norfolk drew a pack
age of relief In the cool , fresh air of
Sunday and Monday. The welcome
change arrived at midnight Saturday
night and Norfolk felt Itself lifted out
of a bake oven and gently placed Into
the cool recesses of an Ice-box.
The last three days of the week
were the most impressive that this
section has known this summer ,
though not as hot by three or four
degrees ns the Fourth of July. But
on the Fourth of July there was
breeze a-plenty , while during the last
three days of last week the weather
man stubbornly declined to turn on
the fans. And Saturday night , for
stilling calmness , was the worst spot
In the three days.
Mercury Drops Fifty Degrees.
But by midnight the area of low
pressure had passed over the town
and cooler breezes began fanning In
from the north. The mercury quickly
sank many degrees and during Sun
day the air was almost chilly having
a delightfully stimulating effect upon
humanity ] in general , which had swel
tered and sizzled and broiled and
baked. The mercury Bank a half hun
dred degrees between Saturday night
and Sunday morning , falling from up
around the 98-mark to 48 above zero.
The hottest point reached all day
Sunday was twenty degrees below the
maximum for the day before , the mer
cury at no time Sunday surpassing the
78-polnt ,
Norfolk has seen many hotter days
than Saturday , but few which were
more oppressive. The excessive hu
mldlty coupled with the great heat
made the day n record breaker in
many respects and Norfolk homos
were literally like stoves up until the
breeze at midnight.
MANY BABIES SUFFER.
Three Daysof Heat Made It Hard for
Little Children.
Many Norfolk babies suffered se
vercly from the three days of Intense
heat that burned up the air last week
and Saturday night local physicians
were kept busy making "baby-calls. "
The relief brought by the midnight
drop of temperature , however , served
well in refreshing the little pallents ,
who were much better on Sunday.
WAS HOT AT AINSWORTH.
Mercury Ran up to 104 Degrees In the
Shade.
Ainsworth , Neb. , Aug. 12. Special
to The News : Saturday night closed
a remarkably hot week for this part
of the state. The climax In heat was
reached Saturday afternoon when the
thermometer nt the government sta
tlon In this city marked 101. Then
came a drop of fifty degrees Inside of
eight hours , the mercury landing at
fifty-four. On Sunday , August 4 , the
extremes In heat and coolness were
81 and 59. Tuesday , 90 and 07 ;
Wednesday , 93 and C3 ; Thursday , 98
and CO ; Friday , 102 and 88 ; Saturday , , !
104 and 75 ; Saturday night down to
54. This chnngo of Saturday after
noon and evening was probably the
most phenomenal In the history of
north Nebraska In the summer season.
